Product Description
The women of the Macua tribe of Northern Mozambique use the twigs of the mussiro tree to protect and beautify their skin. They grind the dry wood with a little water to make a mask which they wear all day. Sometimes they decorate their faces with beautiful designs. The botanical mask banishes blemishes as it makes the skin soft and glowing. The mask is difficult to obtain from Mozambique into this part of the world but now we have made it available in this one-of-a-kind facial treatment mask. Unlike most skin care masks on the market, this powder mask contains no preservatives.
Saharan white clay is added to draw impurities from skin. Kigelia Africana, also known as sausage fruit, is a powerhouse for the skin offering before-and-after sun care. We have added the Kigelia Africana fruit into this mask for its age-defying and skin toning benefits.
The mask can be activated by adding rose water, mineral water or even milk. Apply this mask to your skin and get clearer, cleaner and brighter skin. It is super concentrated so a little goes a long way.
Tammie Umbel, Shea Terra’s founder, has been exploring remote villages throughout Africa for the rarest, power-packed ingredients on the planet since 2000.

An Ancient Secret to Firmness and Anti-Aging from African Women
An ancient beauty secret designed to put the bounce back where it is needed, Kigelia Africana is a potent fruit extract, which has long been used by South African women for medicinal and cosmetic applications. This amazing fruit is still fairly uncommon in the western market but it is already building new pathways in the skincare industry. The fruits are sausage-shaped, hence coined “sausage fruit”. These fruits are collected from the long vines of the kigelia trees. The seeds are then dried, sometimes fermented before being crushed into a fine powder, which the African women will then wear on their skin.
Kigelia is revered by African women for its ability to maintain skin and bust firmness. It has powerful anti-aging and calming properties, which include potent plant sterols, kigelinone, caffeic acid and flavones that offer a host of skin benefits.
Reduces irritation and encourages skin regeneration especially after the damaging effects of sun exposure.Noticeably soothes and calms flare ups caused by eczema and rashes.Used as a tightening agent to help firm skin’s appearance and address concerns such as sagging and wrinkles by enhancing collagen and elastin production.Its plant sterols work synergistically to prevent cellular breakdown of the skin to defy the signs of skin aging.Is an antioxidant with special properties that help clarify skin and banish blemishes such as pimples, acne and blackheads.Helps skin achieve noticeable plumpness, smoothness, as well as a clear and hydrated complexion.
Shea Terra is founded by Tammie Umbel, an enterprising super mom, who built the company while homeschooling 14 of her children. Shea Terra grew out of Tammie’s vision to develop natural skin care treatments that would not only heal and beautify those who use them, but also empower and enrich the lives of many impoverished villages and families throughout Africa.
Since early 2000, Shea Terra Organics has been working with cooperatives and conservation groups to source natural, organic ingredients in a sustainable and ethical way that would create economic opportunities and preserve wildlife. We share these indigenous, time-tested healing ingredients through our breadth of product lines, which include facial care, body treatments, hair herbals and maternity & newborn remedies.
